Lotion Formulation Compatibility and Texture Adjustment

Regarding the lotion formula you provided, the ingredients are generally compatible for mixing. The percentages add up to 100%, which is correct for a formulation.

Your mixing method involves combining the oil phase (Natural Oil and Light Cream Maker) and the water phase (Water, Disodium EDTA, CosmoWhite, Vitamin E, Natto Gum) separately, then slowly adding the water phase to the oil phase while stirring, and finally adding the Mild Preserved Eco. While the Light Cream Maker description typically recommends adding the oil phase containing the emulsifier to the water phase, your method of adding the water phase to the oil phase can also work, although it might require more careful stirring to ensure proper emulsification.

You asked about the amount of Light Cream Maker needed for a light, easily absorbed texture. The formula uses 1.5% Light Cream Maker, which is within the recommended usage range of 0.5-3% and at the higher end of the generally recommended 1-1.5% for typical formulations. Given that Natto Gum is present and can act as a weak electrolyte which might reduce viscosity, using 1.5% Light Cream Maker is a reasonable amount to achieve a cream texture. For a light, easily absorbed lotion, 1.5% should be suitable, but you may need to adjust slightly based on your desired consistency.

Also, please note that Vitamin E (Tocopheryl Acetate) at a concentration of 0.5% is at the upper limit of the recommended usage rate (0.1-0.5%) if used as an antioxidant for the skin, and using more than 0.5% can cause a sticky feeling. Since you are using 0.5%, this is something to be aware of regarding the easily absorbed feel.

In summary, the formula is mixable, and the 1.5% Light Cream Maker should help create a light lotion texture. We recommend performing a small test batch to confirm the texture and feel meet your expectations.
